Zucchini noodle pasta

Zucchini Noodle Pasta, often called “Zoodles,” is a healthy and delicious low-carb alternative to traditional pasta. Made with spiralized zucchini, it’s a light dish that pairs wonderfully with various sauces and ingredients. This recipe features a simple yet flavorful garlic and cherry tomato sauce, topped with Parmesan cheese for added richness.

Ingredients

• 4 medium zucchinis, spiralized
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Directions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
2. Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.
3. Add the spiralized zucchini noodles (zoodles) to the skillet. Toss with the garlic and tomatoes. Cook for 2-4 minutes until the zoodles are tender but still firm.
4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Remove from heat and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Toss everything together until the cheese melts and coats the zoodles.
6. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
